(he'll probably sack me with tons of work when he sees this post.. meh oh well). Wed 10:00. OK, Chris got this one right. John M & Chris V will be fantastic Wed 11:15. Lazers and Voltmeters?! Jeesh do you work for the NSA or something? Go see Dino talk about state of the art MacOSX Rootkits. I've spoken with Dino recently, and this will be a killer talk. Wed 13:45. Toss up here. .NET Rootkits or take a brake from nerd land and go to Analyzing Security Research in the Media. Or possibly continue eating more food?! Wed 15:15. DUH!?! Mark Dowd for the win. It looks like Chris actually got two right this year. Wed 16:45. Capitalism is played.. check out ring -3 rootkits. Not sure what to expect here, but could be decent. Wed 18:00. PWNIES!!! Thu 10:00. Must see SMS breaking and hacking. Luis and Zane never disappoint. Score another point for Chris! Thu 11:15. SADE: Injecting agents in to VM guest OS. Matt Conover has been hacking since he was like 4 years old. Go check this talk out. Thu 13:45. DQ and LL talk about Crayons, or coloring, or paint by number? Not sure, but I'm interested in anything that will make RE quicker and less painful. Thu 15:45. Burns on Android. Playing a game of operation with Android sounds like fun to me. Ding ding.. we have another match. Thu 16:45. Probably check out the TitanEngine talk (or go drink early.. it's party time). OK. So you didn't do half bad this year Chris. And besides.. I'm sure I'll end up totally throwing this plan out the window come Wed morning anyhow! See you all in the land of lost wages!
